Central Negros residents experienced a different kind of energy as Negros Power organized community events to ease the impact of ongoing power interruptions caused by the rehabilitation of the electric distribution network.

As part of its five-year modernization plan, Negros Power has been upgrading aging infrastructure inherited from Central Negros Electric Cooperative Inc. While the improvements are essential for long-term reliability, they have also caused temporary outages, inconveniencing consumers.

In response, the company launched the “Negros Power Saya sa Barangay” initiative, a series of events featuring games, prizes and community celebrations. The initiative aimed to uplift affected residents and foster a sense of unity during the rehabilitation period.

Participants enjoyed traditional games, cheered for winners, and celebrated the unexpected effort by the company to address the human impact of its work. Many residents expressed their understanding of the necessity of the upgrades and praised Negros Power for going beyond its core service to connect with the community on a personal level.

Negros Power emphasized that its mission extends beyond delivering electricity, highlighting its commitment to building stronger relationships with its consumers. The company stated that these events are part of its broader effort to energize lives and communities, even amid ongoing challenges.
